Check, Check and Check!

Happy Summer Friday! Or is it Monday? Tuesday? No, it's Sunday. I never know what day of the week it is once summer vacation hits.

There were a few things on my to-do list for this first week off...

1. Buy something fun for my classroom.... {check}

Magic Music Wand from Chinaberry - click the picture to go to their website. Duct tape from Michael's!

I've seen the magic wands around blogland and thought I needed one of those. They are so cool! I plan on using it when I need to call the group together. Just a sweet sound when you tap it on something.

I can't wait to do this with the duct tape! Michael's had so many cool designs...it was hard to choose!

This actually is the second one this summer. Maybe where you live you see them all the time - but I've only seen a handful in my life time - so whenever I see one it gives me goosebumbplies! This was a double rainbow right above our house last night!

3. Create my first product for TpT! {check} I've spent DAYS on it and had a lot of fun doing it! So now it's up for sale in my "store"...ha, why does that make me giggle? I have a "store"...who says that?!? If you're in the market for a parent/curriculum/open house/beginning of the year parent information toolbox you'll want to check it out. Seriously, without tooting my own horn or anything, I think it's full of stuff you'll find useful!

Click the picture to check it out at my "store"!!!!! I'll give you a great big hug if you do!

I'm pretty happy with my first week off. Hope you are enjoying yours!!!

Good luck on your TPT store. I'm heading over there shortly to check out your first item! I love the duct tape idea -- I'm going to have to copy from you!I've seen the wand before. The teacher used it to teach silent/magic "e". Amy Where Seconds Count 2nd grade blog

Bring on the vacation stress, eh? Our staff members LOVE those wants . . . gave the Star-shaped ones to our faculty for Teacher Appreciation Week the year we used Starpolisher as our theme. Kids love them!!

I love the duct tape on the door. Do you think it will take off the finish? I bought some cool duct tape to go with my rock and roll theme, but I would hate to tear up my door. We had a horrible storm right before our wedding, but then during the reception we had an awesome double rainbow. :)First with Franklin

I'm totally going to have to check out those wands. So cute. I'm heading over to your TpT store. Congrats btw. The neatest thing is when someone leaves a comment/rating on your item. Those emails make me grin from ear to ear. :D
